- Some are calling it a turning point in the homeless crisis in Santa Clara County: San Jose opened up its first new tiny home community. Len Ramirez reports, (2-27-20)
At least San Jose is doing something about the major problems. Los Angeles is doing nothing.
Ramon Yeah they basically get rid of any tiny homes. This is a much better solution.
Ramon
Same for Coachella valley!! It’s so sad.
Yea it's gonna work until it's infested with drugs and dealers.
Really sucks. Section 8 isn’t an option Nor are any other non Profit organizations offering housing but just scamming donors. Section 8 hasn’t even helped people who applied back in 2015. Let me point out-Money’s not an issue it’s just the Governor,Mayors who don’t give a crap.
The best curé for homeless is a bullet.
They don't like to work.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am homeless that is why i say so.
I'd rather live in one of those tiny homes any day, rather than on the streets. Everyone needs shelter.
That's commie speak :)
But yes we all need some kind of shelter.
Unfortunately they want to stay in the streets and drink and do drugs. They do drug test and expect you do things here, which is not hard just trying to get you back on your feet.
@coffeeguy yeah, the city will help them get jobs, make em go church on Sunday’s and they have curfew. You get fed 3x a day , drug addiction hurts. People rather be in cold under the bridge than with with ac/heat safe
Agenda 21
Why give a bunch of druggies tiny homes.....put them out in the desert, not in the city
We need this type of community or housing in Los Angeles. Help homeless folks as well as our veterans. 🙏
The politicians in Los Angeles have yet to monetize it so nothing is done. People have tried but the politicians in CA are
Veterans SHOULD get aid from the government, regardless.
A lot of them don’t want homes. With homes, comes rules and with rules comes responsibility. These people are on the streets because they do not like rules and want zero responsibility.
To much money for them maybe. I know they have the funds tho
At some point in their lives the homeless caused the condition they're in today and giving them something they haven't earned won't help. As to veterans, being one shouldn't entitle them to anything. They were trained and paid for their service and were offered educational opportunities and medical benefits. Technically we're all homeless and if you think not just quit paying taxes on what you think you own!!
I was on the streets for years. May this concept go National.
And how did you get off the streets?
put them in the unused FEMA camps. Drugs are a pandemic worse than c vid.
IT WONT ..the rich won't allow it in THEIR Beloved Neighborhoods . EVER..Soo Sad.
@@jesusisgodcatlynn9144I don’t blame them, and I’m not rich either.
AGREE DANIEL
Such negative comments. I think it’s a nice idea. Tiny homes is privacy and it’s a great start.
Negative comments aren’t a reflection of ppl. Some don’t care abt providing dignity to others.
It's a good start, but a long time overdo. It's the naysayers who have kept it from being here sooner and would've been more abundant in every county by now, but these are the same people who laugh at depressed people see homeless people as nuisance rather than a real issue that needs remedying.
@ Donna Harris- yes it is a great solution! The best news I've heard regarding homeless since.....hopefully it will spread. To add to the housing solution, a work training program should be implemented with it, these people can learn a skill and gradually transition from state tiny homes to their own home/ apartment. ❤👌☀️
@Ian G 👌🥇
Pretty sure a self-made contractor did this some years ago in Cali and the city Demo’d all the tiny houses
🦋This is the most humane housing community, I've ever seen.
Would you enjoy living there? Be honest with yourself. Communal bathrooms mean no privacy.
Don't get it twisted! it's designed to kill folks.Amen
It isnt about "enjoying" its necessities being provided it's not a permanent live forever solution at least it's not meant to be. Those individuals should be working towards independence at some point.
@@SaionjiStriker22 their taking your independence away make no mistake!

This is so wonderful. God bless you who ever started all these.
Good job, I've been following this story since the proposals were made for tiny housing years ago. I'm glad that San Jose is committed to this project.
THEY NEED THIS ALL OVER THE WORLD
@Peso Sign come to Canada these people are still sleeping on the sidewalks
Or these people could work instead of just doing drugs
Cody H if only it was like that
I doubt any of this would happen in my area, 1m sq = 30,000 USD 😭
Convince gov to let everyone have an acre of free tax free fertile land to grow a food forest on and live on.
End farm subsidies. End tax
breaks to farms exsept those who grow healthy vegan food for human consumption exsept no large mono crops.
End mandatory school, ged and hsd requirements, age limits, minimum wage, and exsessive regs.
People should be able to learn how to do a good job they want so they can afford a house and car before 18.
For those who and whos parents can afford it, tax deductible chairty and or the about 180,000dollars spent on k thru 12 per student could pay for it and trash k thru 12 and some of that money could be used to promote more independence and healthy living.
Its AWESOME, now they have a home to come home to and sleep in a warm bed...I know they definitely appreciate it. More cities should do the same .
I shee you, BOI!
God bless those who created this place.
We need these places in EVERY city and village.
I'll be curious to know what this place looks like a year from now.
Full of needles, trash, and bathroom waste.
You can only hope, but you must persevere
instead of thinking positive about an initiative to help the people who need help, you just shit on it wishing it to fail so you can justify your lack of empathy, you are probably poorer than them in a spiritual way
@@leaphardotnet it’s sad how America has a concept of if you are poor or homeless then it’s all your fault and is a weakness that you should overcome on your own. The amount of tribalism that goes on across the globe is very sad to see. If you are in the tribe then you’re all good, outside the tribe and you are a target for attack.
@@leaphardotnet not sure if that was directed at me, but I'm genuinely curious what it's going to look like in a year from now. I hope that it is successful. I mostly left this comment so that I can be reminded to check on the project in the future. Thanks for the insight into who you think I am though haha
This is where the tiny home trend should have gone, the houses are inexpensive to build easy to group together and makes it easier for people to finally get out of being homeless
Ikr,, but no kitchen,,,'-'
@@fionat2130 oh, that's cool-
There are people who were building tiny houses for the homeless for a long time, a simple yt search brings it up.
@@Norman-hs8yb Right ? Where do they eat now, with this social distancing ? Maybe BBQ pits. That's an idea. :)
xLolx oop they have a community kitchen
Good job san jose
San Jose is doing more than any other CA. community for the problem. I think it's great!
Handsome White Devil Think bigger picture my guy. Rehabilitating these people and putting them back into the workforce would ultimately lower taxes. You have more people that are off the streets and able to pay taxes.
Any time
This brought tears to my eyes. We need more of this in the world especially with covid times happening. Some of the kindest most loving people I know have faced homelessness at some point in their lives. This would have made their times on the street so much more comfortable and dignifying. It's hard to look for jobs when you're in a shelter because of their hours. They essentially force them to hop from place to place never truly relaxing. The police will get called on them if they stay in one place for long. They're forced to shower at gyms and pools. It's ridiculous. This is a much better solution for them until they get back on their feet.
PlZ! Sacramento.. NEVERMIND ABOUT YOUR STUPID SELFISH BEER GARDENS & Concerts ... there Are Too Many Tents out here & people DYING. It's SAD.
Adopt a homeless dude. That will be an education.
So Proud of All San Jose💞🌴 from Arizona still in Cali Spirit!
Help them find jobs too so we can help restore their lives.
How about teaching them how to build tiny homes...
How do you find jobs for people with no work ethic and just want to get high all day?
Kevin Li - That’s slavery, its bigger than that.
Most of them don't want jobs
Dick Manitoba you are absolutely right
They should have an on-site drug and alcohol rehab.
Maybe they will in the future. You can't have it all at once. Programs would be successful if they could.
Sure when we have mandatory drug testing for owners and CEOs sucking up all income.
@Randy Wiesendanger r u on drugs? Did you think that up all by yourself? You must have some bad immigrate ancestors.
VAL13C
You know not all homeless people are addicts right
M Soda that’s why the rehab was suggested duuuuhhhh
The architect did an amazing job. I originally didn’t understand why there was so much open space when a house takes so little space, but I realized that it makes the town feel so much more human. Efficient grids would feel like a prison but this seems nice to live in.
Also, Homes built with communal areas could be used in high rent places to conserve space and make housing affordable. This idea seems functional not just for the homeless but general people who want to save money on rent.
I'm glad to see someone is making an effort to help the homeless now this is something I'd gladly donate to
Why ARENT tiny houses more available for everyone? Why is property so prohibitively expensive?
Greed. I mean , poop and used syringes drives up real estate. Which Democramp will take the credit for this?I see the good here but these are basically sheds...
Greed, and its imaginary value. A house can go up in cost for no reason other than whether or not it's a seller's market (I.e theres more demand for housing than there is available so realtors advise homeowners to get as much as possible) which continues the cycle of raising the "value".
Let's say you buy a house at 300k. You live in it for a year and do nothing to improve the house, but it's in as good of a condition as you bought it in. It's a seller's market so you're advised to put it on the market at $350k, then a bidding war starts and it goes up to $400k. You're now profiting $100k (or so, minus realtor fees) on a house you did NOTHING to. You did nothing to earn that money besides sell at the right time. Now, the next family who bought it at $400k are looking to sell for at LEAST that (if sold at the right time). Now a house has gone from $300k to $400k (cost, not value).
This is why I dont want to buy a house. It's an investment you can lose a lot of money on if you ever want/have to move. Sure, paying a mortgage is cheaper than rent most often, but homeowners also have to maintain the home, and save some income to be able to spend back in the home if necessary.
Some landlords are really greedy, they'll do the bare minimum work but charge the maximum possible, which is another issue.
Anyone take a finace class?
Thank you. I've been watching tiny homes for over a year now. I really would like to have one built for myself.
👍👍👍
I’m glad San Jose is doing something, but Cali needs a few hundred thousand of these
legobuilder 369 they definitely need to do some type of drug testing or rehabilitation inside on a regular basis or make them do community service work to earn their place. Just giving them a house for free will only enable them to continue the lifestyle they had before
WOW, the extremely ignorant responses you're getting to your comment is just disgusting. It's incredibly ablest, classiest and idiotic to presume that a homeless problem is going to fix itself from the sorts of holier than thou empathy lacking individuals who are more concerned about what's in your pocket as a means of judging someone then who they are. There's even a creepy eugenics argument coming from GoldenState, Careful Golden your Nazi is showing. I guess in their ideal society the sick, the unwell and the mentally ill get shot to the waste side. (Oh wait we live here already!) You may not want to LOOK at the problem of homelessness and think that there's a problem with your society for there to be THAT MANY on the street but that's on you and THOSE views are one of the reasons the Covid 19 is going to get WORSE.
Anyways Star Wolf, yeah it's nice that they have this but it's not enough and not a permanent fix and with guys like these continuing the already FAILED ARGUMENT of presuming a homeless person who doesn't have access to food, water, entertainment or any community, Heck, maxi pads for the women, soap. ANYTHING. Is going to go get a job, in what is often a failing economy where minimum wage usually isn't enough while not having a place to clean their fucking bodies or get clothes. Yeah great idea guys, that'll stop the homeless problem.
Star Wolf I agree. The NIMBY people have kept social housing out of Cali for decades. The state should allow this type of housing everywhere and lower the cost of living to align with incomes, particularly for older single retirees who have no way to pay for market rate housing. Larger units should be available for couples and family groups.
Looks like fancy gulag.
There's a guy that already built mini houses like these with his own expenses and distributed them to the homeless in California. Take a wild guess what the insane heartless liberal California government did to those houses.
That was a long time coming and I am so glad that there is security on the premises
Recommend homeless people one thing, “You can live here temporary ONLY if you help build two more shelters just like it. We provide the material, you help with labor.”
are you aware that a large percentage of the homeless population are homeless because they can't work due to physical disability or severe mental illness? this comment is cruel. maybe the ones who are capable of working can help build for a paycheck so they can save up deposits for permanent housing, but that is a minority of people on the street.
@@egalo-medina6859 some what true .. but there is a large population of younger homeless individuals that are on alcohol and drugs .... Panhandling to pay their addiction.... They need to be in a rehab center to help them kick there habit.....and those individuals that are willing and able to work should help build other communities....and yes it would be nice to get compensated for their work! But again you can't always server ppl on a silver platter and not expect them to help back in some way or another ....JS
This is the kind of news I’d like to see more often.
Dont start dictating them ..
Graham S C coc
L look c
This is a human improvement
We pay to refurnish the White House why not build houses for people who need them.
I would for the real homeless, but for the crackhead homeless people no thanks
Yea so
That's a state issue, we also pay the local politicians to sit around and do nothing
@GPE MUZIK true, plenty would work, but a ton don't want to. Others feel they can't because they lack other things like the creativity and common sense to do such things. If someone went homeless today, they wouldn't think of going to a local library to use their computers. They wouldn't think of going to a homeless shelter or a government employment program to help them. They'd think they need to survive on the streets doing homeless people hustles
Svet lana exactly, all the billions spent on BS, this should catch on everywhere
This need to be built in every city, because every city has homelessness!😢 40 is not enough! For all the money that Gavin Newsom has wasted 5000 of these Little houses should have them built if not more! Rent is so high in California. and it’s only going higher.🥺
I'm not paying for drug addicts homes
@@ihasbagus849 You act like these people purposely do drugs. Grow some compassion.
Almost everyone who has done drugs has purposely tried them
@@ihasbagus849 "almost"
Awww these are so nice, clean and comfortable. God bless those who made this possible. 🙏🏼
Everyone deserves a safe and decent place to call home. I wish I was a billionaire, I’d build thousands of these little homes for the homeless. ❤️🥺
I have been saying this for years. With the billions of dollars spent to fight homelessness there is nothing to show for it. Bravo 👏 San Jose
God bless who ever came with the idea some of those people is not the drugs that got them there having a bed every night is priceless god bless for the help.
There not all on drugs most have mental issues. Dont. Use drugs as a excuse

40 tiny homes is a good start,
But there are over 5,k homeless in that area.
We need at least 2,k more tiny homes in this area to help more.
Then they needs to start doing this in Los Angeles and other places
I think getting people to volunteer to build these things would be no problem.
Why can’t everyone else adopt this method simple in it isn’t hurting anyone but helping many
Dra Jackson lmao
The problem is those people that occupy the Homes most likely have to stay drug free because it would become a toxic living community. I believe most people un that situation rather live a crazy life !
This is because iluminati create of order out of chaos!!
Because some people want others to suffer and die... because they’re dillusional and somehow they still are affecting policy
First you should visit one at least. Live or work within walking distance of one.
Nyc has so many abandoned buildings, I don’t understand why we can’t turn them into homes. We don’t do enough for the homeless where I live. :(

Spoken like an angel
Hey, I've worked for NYCDOB as well as the Corcoran group.. many of those "abandoned" buildings are not abandoned at all, but owned by multi millionaires, many of them foreign developers. They want the land, not the buildings itself. They just let it sit & collect capital while the rest of the neighborhood goes up in value via gentrification, then they sell for a major profit, if they sell at all. Sometimes they turn it into luxury condos (they were just waiting for the neighborhood to "whiten up" a bit so there'd be less pushback about building a million $ condo across the street from the projects. 😒) Welcome to NYC.
Signed, a lifelong NYer priced out of the neighborhood she grew up in 😔
Ashley Santiago It has to do with money. If developers cannot make 50 to 100k profit per dwelling unit they will not do it...
Because obviously these buildings are not safe anymore. They're old, rotted and done. If they weren't, they'd still be in business.
Sheltering the homeless is a Corporal Act of Mercy according to Jesus.
I don't remember Jesus saying that
@@turtleneckferret Mark 12:31 “Love your neighbor as yourself;” therefore just like how you love and take care of yourself by sheltering yourself, you should also shelter others. Simple really.
This is amazing 🙏🏼❤️ This is what all communities should be doing!
Praise God, bless everyone who was involved in this wonderful and needed change. We all need to do whatever we can in this life to reach out and love others.
Lisa Crouch praise god for not helping homeless people in the first place and instead waiting till 2020 for a mayor to do it for him so that said mayor can get re-elected
ADDITIONALLY praise god for all the gold on the churches that could feed everyone in the world for at least 10 years (cause god fucking looooooves gold) and for priests molesting children and for muslims being tortured and killed in illegal camps in china
goddamn god is just madlad ain’t he

Finally, some hope for real solutions. We need more housing like this, thousands more. Look at skid row Los Angeles, decades of gross negligence, it has to end.

Why dont you pay for it?
there are almost too many people to help and you know a lot of them will end up right back where they were.. how do you think they got there in the first place? obviously shit can happen but most choose to do drugs all day instead of getting a job.
That will never happen Los Angeles has the worst nimb laws that prevent construction like this unless it is a high rise luxury skyscraper or apartment in LA it is impossible to build something this in LA simple cause of the regulations zoning laws and there is no profit to be made. Skid row will never be cleaned up.

And that is the reason why you are poor. If you just give stuff to people, they will ALWAYS need more, and more, and more, until everything you have is not enough.
That's the paradox, billionaires are usually billionaires because they're greedy (many of them at least). They pay as little as they can to their employees and make as much profit as they can. They have absolutely no problem with enriching themselves at the expense of people who are poorer than them.
@@Viktor007 words from a loser who does nothing for America. Don’t hate the rich join them.
This is great. Sadly lots of homeless refuse to accept these kinds of great gestures because they’d rather be smoking and able to do whatever they do rather than being in a safe and healthy environment like this. But honestly this is amazing and I hope a lot of people decide to come and live here
This is so cool. Love it that so many people are helping the homeless.
I hope this gives them an address. That really is helpful when applying for jobs

Saint Augustine get help
Body Pillow he’s not wrong, most of the people on the streets won’t change no matter how much we enable and help them. A lot of them have given up on themselves so why waste our hard earned resources on them. The people that become homeless after foster care, veterans that served our country or families that loose a home to natural disasters or can’t find a job after being laid off is where the help should go

Finally they are helping people in need, nobody knows what put them in their situation but these are people that should not be forgotten about.
literally why can’t we do this for every town? they would be so thankful to even have a small sheltered place... this is awesome. ❤️
They need to get jobs. Help the economy instead of draining it.
D Blades it’s really hard to get a job when you have no address and can’t take a shower. This is supposed to be transitional.
D Blades a lot of homeless people, especially in California, have jobs but can’t afford a place to live. Stop judging and try helping, maybe then there’d be less homeless people. Learn compassion, it’s a great trait to have. You never know when you’ll need someone to have compassion on you.
@@holyghostfire238 I do help. I help a lot. With my tax money. Everyday when I go to work.
@@jworth7203 it's also hard to get a job when you dont want one because the tax payers keep giving hand outs.
In this day and age, no one should be homeless anywhere,
Agreed but unfortunately, too many of us have a problem with loving one another as Jesus loves us.
Exactly. Everyone should have a job and pay for themselves.
Jennifer Williams some people are lazy. You can’t help someone who doesn’t wanna help themselves. Not saying all homeless are like that but Id say many of them are
D Blades - It's not that black and white Simpleton.
Stiff Mayonnaise - You're right. I don't support lazy people but I do support this concept for people who have fallen through the cracks due to various unexpected life events.
I love when people help others that's progress and helps bring balances. Awesome, I love this.
Awesome changes San Jose!! May God continue to change the hearts of people for good! God bless you all!
I wish they would do that here in Hawaii, regardless if people are drug addicts or whatever, just make tiny homes like these to get them off the streets, THEN off of the drugs. Aloha from Hawaii
Unfortunately, giving them tiny homes will not get anyone drugs, unless you think they are taking drugs because they are not happy, not
Didn’t know this about beautiful Hawaii
Then more homeless people would move to Hawaii. Hawaii sends homeless people to Alaska and California
Off of drugs first. The drug epidemic is out of control. They should be institutionalized for at least a year. Reward them with a tiny house and jobs when they get out.
@@DNSMLT We were envisioning utilizing these vacant malls and turning them into transitional centers with security, medical, legal, mental health, and food facilities - like all-inclusive temporary residential centers to assist the homeless to help get them on their feet again.
They should do this for Chicago, illinois homeless people
Sonia B great idea, but there’s not any open land in Chicago
@@hiyathere599 there is plenty of vacant land! It's just that the city would tax so much that the organizations couldn't maintain. Heck a lot of citizens can barely maintain.

Wow I think that it's great to give people a chance to settle down and have the time and comfort they need to get back on their feets. They should have a camp like this everywhere for those who are struggling, I know it's going to feel uncomfortable at first but at least it's nothing more than a support system that is necessary and can help society greatly.
Giving house for homeless is a wholesome deed. This will give happy results in future lives. Greetings from sri Lanka.
You give a person their dignity back, and their lives can change.
You don’t know about the homeless here. They are not just poor people down on their luck. The majority are mentally handicapped drug addict criminals who need to be institutionalized
@@Feelthefx Agree. Those people need a good rehab and mental evaluation, amounts of money they spend on drags can easily pay rent in a descent apartment. Such a waste of tax payers money
@@Ast151 ya, drag queens are such a drain on the economy.
This is a beautiful thing! We should prioritize helping the downtrodden and giving our fellow human beings a hand when they need it the most! 💕🤗💖
agree
finally those people has some decent place to live, it like a miracle for them, it is an act of humanity , best news of the day
I need to get into that business, those things are way smaller than a Home Depot $4k storage shed and are being sold to the city at 80K a clip. Helping the needy never ends up being an act of benevolence.
I've had this idea for about 20 years, so amazed someone finally started doing it, we need this to go worldwide. If we can all volunteer our time doing this, we can end poverty and significantly reduce inequality.
Likewise!
The next step would be tiny houses (250-400 sf) that contain a small bathroom and kitchen and would be open to people ready to leave the bridge housing and integrate with others who could benefit from tiny houses - elderly, young people just starting out like college grads, people new to the area, women leaving domestic violence, etc. It would be especially nice if there were an option to either rent or buy for those who want to remain in the community.
In the 1950s, the average home was under 1000 sf. Even though families have gotten smaller, homes have gotten much bigger. There is no reason that one person needs that much space and prices make homeownership impossible for far too many. Smaller homes would address multiple problems.
Poverty and inequality will always exist.
@@turtleneckferret yeah for as long as we chose that for our society, of course we could make other choices but then that wouldn't help the rich get richer would it !?
Yes!
"Volunteer" is actually the issue. You won't get far at all with that mentality. No one is going to simply do all the work for free. The problem is, when the cities outsource to companies to get the work done, these sleezy companies up the costs of everything in order to make max profit. That needs to be regulated. Stop allowing these companies to do this.
Let’s get more
Homeless people in tiny houses.
No space to move around in the tiny house they will wanna get out Especially with all of them one can catch the Coronavirus that will be a hot spot
They need your donations.
They cannot be considered houses since they have no attached bathroom or kitchen.. Not much different than living in a tent.
@@deidrecoday1269 much better to shoot up in
@@deidrecoday1269 so what? It's better than a makeshift and dwell on the streets. Don't you think?
I talked to a chronic homeless and hd expressed the tiny home solution is spot on,he also said it should be priced for disability or 711 clerk affordability
Excellent idea its about time they did something for the homeless. Keep it going.
How can people expect somebody to pick themselves up who have nothing?? How can u get a job with no place to sleep? No place to get ready no place to wash up?? No place to put ur clothes or stuff?? No dollar to eat or even get decent clothes for work... Things happen and not everybody is a druggy or bad... People need kindness and help...
Ya well let's see how long it takes them to "get on their feet" lol that lady that said she made dinner for everyone seemed pretty comfortable already ...............
I became homeless before due to mental illness. No drugs; no drinking problem. No crime issues. Just untreated C-PTSD and no support system.
There are shelters. You can take in someone are care for all their needs. It's not so much fun. I do know billionaires who have done this. No one is perfect, but people on both sides of politics have come together. Live awhile, and you will see. No party is perfect, or right but it's what we have, and it seems pretty alright compared to the rest of the world. Maybe take your own responsibility to see the changes you want to see and leave politica out of it?
True.
Okay well now that they have housing let’s see how long it takes them to get jobs ..
I wish I had the time to put thumbs up for everyone who put nice comments so this thumbs up👍 is for all you guys God bless you all
Thank God bless you always for your kindness and love
Now that's an example of leadership. My hat of to you!
Now we need to help homeless vets
@dani You are absolutely right!!!
Stfu
@dani homeless is homeless...
To all of those involve in bringing people under a roof may karma kiss you.
The Bastard Gift hope so too.
Ramon, it's scary. Stay safe. Thank you for responding.
This needs to be done all over this country. A hand up . ❤
There are many tiny home communities in other states, so it's awesome to see this same model in San Jose. This should be a model replicated in other cities in the Bay Area to help the homeless be in safe and clean space to help get back on their feet. To give them back a sense of dignity. The community structure, coupled with the social services available to them is critical in their transition back to permanent housing. Amazing work San Jose!
I wish Denver did this for all the homeless people we have all around the city.
Wait Denver has a homeless Problem
Kevin Stop using my Phone yeah it’s bad too
The homeless people in Denver are friendly!!
Yup snows slot in Denver.
Homeless people in Denver are friendly and they don’t ask for money 💵
They should do the same thing every where they should help all the homeless people
Thank you this warms my heart..this is a start...we need this all over♥️🙏🏻please help all those in need give them back their pride and dignity....
Great program!!!
God bless everyone who had a part in making this housing possible. God bless the residences. I pray that more cities do this this is awesome and wonderful thing!!!
Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on +2348115850862) tell him I sent an you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you....
No god but Allah
Islam way for peace and the real monotheism
Search for the truth and right way with honest heart And ask him for the right way for his mercy.
Sometimes just having some where to call home is all you need...It’s the principle, not the size. It makes people feel human, cared about & a reason to go forward....
Convince gov to let everyone have an acre of free tax free fertile land to grow a food forest on and live on.
End farm subsidies. End tax
breaks to farms exsept those who grow healthy vegan food for human consumption exsept no large mono crops.
End mandatory school, ged and hsd requirements, age limits, minimum wage, and exsessive regs.
People should be able to learn how to do a good job they want so they can afford a house and car before 18.
For those who and whos parents can afford it, tax deductible chairty and or the about 180,000dollars spent on k thru 12 per student could pay for it and trash k thru 12 and some of that money could be used to promote more independence and healthy living.
@B vegan Now
School is very important. I have family who wish they could have had a good education. I agree with the grow your own food, spending time in Europe shows just how easy it is to grow your own food and it tastes so much better too.
@@bvegannow1936 not enough fertile land for the population.personal farming is hard work that isnt very efficient. Plus look out for the weather.
Ms. Understood And it's safety.They can really rest.Its wonderful!
Thank you and God bless America!
Glory be to God, this is much needed for homeless Families, veterans, or single people Thank God for this Tiny homes is truly a blessing!!!🙏🙏🙏
The security is a good idea.... never know when entitled jerks want to mess something up.
Not the first time they messed things up while getting whatever they want.
@Near Yetfar
I'm gen X, but you're seriously delusional
@Near Yetfar ya know if you would have just done your homework mommy wouldn't have had to take away your video game, child.
@Near Yetfar Baby boomers? Spoiled? You're a special case of stupid, aren't you?
they are the reason you are born. If you want to help don't go and be an asshole to them inside focus on the future, your future, if they made mistakes help them inside of using the word boomer just to demonize them. there are boomers who did good and yet you use prejudice to assume that they are all spoiled.
Hope this really helps the people who really need help and become self sufficient later.
Amazing!!!!!!! Weĺl done 2 all helping people xxxx
I’m very proud of the city leadership taken positive action for these homeless people
This made my day god bless thoses who are watching
I'm sure that Gov. Newsom is perplexed as to how 40 housing units could be built without spending $1,000,000,000.
Ziffel22 he spends that much a year in hair product.
Gov.Newsom payed for it
hopefully he will spend it all on these tiny villages 🙏🙏🙏🙏 but we know how they roll
@Saint Augustine show this so call slush funds san jose has then OG!
I think this is a great idea!!! No one deserves to be on the streets! I don’t care who they are or what they have done in!! All praises to TMH!!!
That's really awesome to help homeless people. I really respect people who help. God bless🙏🙏💞💞🙏
They’re blessed. My mom would make that tiny home a palace. Wonderful
This is awesome. I love the fact that the homeless can now live with some dignity.
they trashing them like everything else they touch. addicts.
@@ianwalton284 so you think they should die is what i'm hearing
@@20035079Addicts do themselves in. Reap what you sow.
We need this everywhere. For the homeless crises and also the same concept for more affordable housing. I have been dreaming of buying a backyard tiny home.
I applaud 👏san Jose for caring for their homeless community.
Thanks, for your kindness. It is about time,that we are taking care of the Veterans. Thanks for your service 👍🙏🙏🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️
Thats a good ass idea. It needs more, now that’s why I am paying my taxes for!
I hope that bigger cities where the homeless situation is out of control like LA, SF and NYC take notes. This is what needs to be done.
What a wonderful idea..would love to see more states doing this for the homeless.
I asked a professor at a architecture school about designing tiny homes and she trashed the idea and said they don’t have a place in the future. I designed a mobile shower unit for homeless people and another architecture professor said “don’t focus on the homeless, there’s not that many of them anyways”. Another professor got upset with me when I portrayed families in my design projects, told me we need to challenge the traditional family unit.
These are the people in our “higher education” shaping the weak feeble minds of our youth.
P.s. the school I went to was bought by a Chinese company months before the scamdemic. They received Millions in federal money months after buying the school. They forced everything online and reduced the size of the campus, they also raised tuition.
Please go be a teacher and do better than those who tried to spread their prejudice onto you!
Damn
They're just spouting what they were told when they were young and impressionable. Break the cycle
I might of said the same thing when I was young... How many years have you been working?
No the pandemic is not a scam just luke homelessness isn't. They are real things real people go through.
Now how about helping people living paycheck to paycheck......
@Bruh Really you do realize you have to go on a waiting list for low income housing which in some cases takes years, but they should get the hell out of CA
Bruh Really also some stories about wealthy individuals scamming that system to get a low income homes and rent it out.
Word.
Be thankful you have job.
That's true. Poverty is when the money you make, doesn't fit your basic needs.
We need more people in Middle Class work. And not jobs, meant for teenagers.
I really hope and wish they make places like this all over the world and all the homeless people are off the streets forever. Have secure clean safe shelter.
Wonderful. More of this!
